Bannon's indictment portends woes for Trump, or so I hope. In any case, the many crimes this syndicate has undoubtedly committed are now beginning to come to light. I wish they could bring back the stocks and pillories. I have some rotten tomatoes and a decent fast ball-pitching arm I'd like to put to use.
I think public shaming has its place and some constructive uses. Our modern culture and society might benefit some from having it partially returned to more frequent use, at least on the powerful, rich, and famous... Most of America is way too enamoured of the rich, famous, and powerful, who tend to be some of our worst people. All because, in many cases, becoming one of those three groups requires a certain moral flexibility, shall we say, that I find disgusting and shameful.
I liked the protester who yelled at Bannon during his perp walk, and I quote: "Stop hurting America, you two-bit greasy grifter!" That about sums it up. Because he is charged with a crime in NY state, he'll go to Rikers Island, which isn't exactly where anyone would want to go.
@Organist1 And being a state crime, he may not be eligible for a pardon, right?
@TomMcGiverin I believe that's right.
@Organist1 I sure as hell hope so, otherwise the next Repub prez, which I think is inevitable in two years, will pardon him.
Lets just hope some tRumper fool judge doesn't find a way to let him off.
